I've seen a production system that has a component which delivers itself to hosts around the network as a virus. It has brakes, but it's a virus. It does real work in the real world.
A worm... I hope they get their security right so that only the good program is allowed to replicate by the carrier machines. __
at least you share the use of TITLE attributes in hyperlinks (a good feature that Slashdot shouldn't chomp away).
Thanks! The reason Slashdot chomps title tags is probably because they are not supported in Netscape yet. They are an important usability feature, and in some browsers they also offer nifty low-grade special effects - along with the opportunity for contextual ampliciation or ironic commentary.
Hey, I've got two interviewed webdesigners that think the TITLE attribute of <A> is good. Will Slashdot start admitting it? And using it in the stories? __
I suppose that building a mainframe distribution is very costly. (I suppose they need at least one expensive actual mainframe to do the testing, don't they?)
And then, since it is mainly GPL software, you could buy just one copy (disc? tape?) of a distro and install it in all the virtual machines of all the mainframes in the company. So you have a maximum number of sales as big as the number of Data Processing departments that run S/390s. I expect this number to be small, at least, compared to the number of individual-owned PCs.
So I think that the number of sales of these distributions has to be very low (comparing to PC distros). And media sales is the main revenue of distribution makers.
Better than spending tax money to pay hunters, make the spammers pay. It would be (100 + X) % of their spam booty, and it could be divided among the hunter, the state and maybe the spammed (difficult), in the style of privateers seizing pirates and fat galleons with the gold of the Indies. __
Find about the new HR 3113 bill from Congress!! Now YOU can make the Internet a BETTER place!!
Every day millions of 'spam' and UCE messages are sent through the Information Superhighway by unscrupulous cybermarketers. You have received several tens of them a day.
But the new HR 3113 bill allows normal users like YOU and me to claim a bounty for every 'spammer' tracked and denounced. Until now 'spam' tracking was a black art known only by computer 'hackers'. But NOW YOU can HUNT and FIND them!!!! MAKE MONEY FAST AND EASY with my SPAMHUNTER COURSE CD-ROM (TM)!!!
SPAMHUNTER COURSE CD-ROM(TM) allow easy tracking. You will know how to use our secret HACKER tools like WHOIS and TRACEROUTE to find the lair of this scum. Then you can claim your bounty at your local police station.

It could be a good idea to make a robot that upon reading a Slashdot article would search the web, using appropiate search engines, to post interesting links related to the story.

My opinions: In your example, the limerick is copyrightable (you agreed), by you if you didn't copy it from some troll. And if it is translated to Japanese, converted to EBCDIC, printed, engraved on stone, incorporated as a comment in a C program, or sent as a GIF or a PostScript program, then the result is a derived work.
And if I understood correctly the rants on GPL (I got my legal education from Slashdot:) ), the copyright of derived work is owned by the holder of the copyright for the original work, even if they aren't the authors of the derived one. __

I run IE 4.0 in NT and have Junkbuster set to allow cookies only to sites I trust. I also have a company proxy to access the web.
copyright generally only protects the "creative work". The courts generally do not view the results of machine output as being protected by copyright. So the code you wrote by hand is probably protected--the code generated by the DreamWeaver guys probably is not.
Are you sure? Then, if I run copyrighted.c through a preprocessor, the result is not copyrighted?
Or if I paint a penguin in Gimp and save it as a.JPG, penguin.jpg is not copyrightable?
I think that anything you can do with DreamWeaver shows "creative work", even the configuration files.
I think the crux is in what their contract said (or didn't say) about the property of the result.
no need to worry about dangerous technologies when you can always trust the motives of those working on it
Probably you have omitted a lot from that plot. Even if you can know that somebody is doing something in good faith, you can't trust it to be good. People may be wrong and self-deceived. __
If you come with some science-fiction idea and you want to enter a contest, try the UPC Science Fiction Award, "the most important science fiction award in Europe" (Brian W. Aldiss).
Languages are EN, FR, ES and CT. Prizes are up to 1,000,000 ESP (~= 6,010 EUR) and publishing. (Gimme 1% if you win;) )
It has also been reported in the press that scientists working independently in the USA, Europe as well as Australia have carried out some form of teleportation.

Viruses are challenging and interesting.
Yeah, like biological ones. But we don't go around spreading them happily, do we?
Some of the ideas used in them have been incorporated into modern software.
Like? I can only think of BSOD as an example of payload.
Just like anything else if you don't use viruses to harm people or data their is nothing wrong with them at all.
Yes, like anything else. But if you don't use them so, what do you use them for?

In 1984, NSF, EEC DG-XIII and MITI started a joint project on technologies for organic production of electricity and virtual reality.
In 1992, they started implementing it.
It is currently running in full capacity. An estimated number of 6 billion people are involved.

for every one good idead that might have come from one good SF book, there are approximately a gillion bad ones
The commonly accepted ratio is stated by Sturgeon's law: "90% of all science-fiction is crap".

Can somebody elaborate on this?
